Let’s us now concluded the musical portion of Hunchback with probably the strongest aspect of it: Alan Menken’s Score. The Hunchback of Notre Dame has one of the best score that Disney has ever produced. Menken was inspired by Mozart’s Requiem Mass and there a lot of dark tonalities to the Music  which in conclude Latin chanting which add   to the gothic nature of tone to the movie. When I say Gothic I referring to the building of Notre Dame and not the genre of the Victor Hugo’s book. The score also has a lot of Leitmotifs (referring to a recurring theme associated with a particular person, place, or idea.)

Quasimodo = “Out There,” Frollo =”Hellfire,” Phoebus has this march that is heard a lot when ever he appears on the screen. This Phoebus leitmotif got reused as part of the musical for Phoebus’ introductory song “Rest and Recreation.”

Esmeralda =”God Help the Outcasts.”. Clopin doesn’t seem to get one because he is always singing. You can hear the some melody throughout the movie. Track 4 Humiliation has the melody of “Out There” and  “God help the Outcast.”

So while the songs are pretty hit and miss, the score is strong. My Favorite track is defiantly Sanctuary! It’s over the top and dramatic. Plus I’m a fan of Latin choir, it maybe a cliche but they really do make everything sound much more epic
